Jaypee insolvency timeline Founded in 1979 by Jaiprakash Gaur, Jaiprakash Associates Limited operates across construction, power, real estate, hospitality, and infrastructure. Its subsidiary, Jaypee Infratech Limited (JIL), developed the Yamuna Expressway and was active in real estate in the National Capital Region before entering CIRP in August 2017 due to loan defaults. After prolonged legal proceedings and a monitoring committee's oversight, the Mumbai-based Suraksha Group emerged as the successful resolution applicant. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) approved Suraksha's plan on 24 May 2024. In early June 2024, Suraksha took control of JIL, appointed a three-member board, and injected ₹125 crore in equity to revive stalled housing projects. By August 2024, it had invested an additional ₹250 crore and secured a ₹3,000 crore loan to continue work on approximately 20,000 incomplete flats. Suraksha Group's subsidiary now manages JIL under the approved plan, while JAL continues its broader restructuring process.
